Lightweight front tower summary

This replacement front shock tower is an RC-scale spare part built for the Kyosho FW05RR chassis and listed as FW05-RR005-GT/A. Fabricated from graphite, the part provides the front suspension mounting points and preserves the original FW05RR mounting interfaces.

Installation is straightforward for hobbyists experienced with 1/10 on-road cars: remove the body and front shocks, unbolt the stock tower, and refit the graphite tower using the existing fasteners. Standard fitting does not require permanent changes to the chassis.

For setup work, the graphite mounting face is stiffer than many molded plastic towers, helping the shock geometry remain stable under load and enabling repeatable camber and toe adjustments. Fit it when dialling front-end response or testing shock positions and roll centre changes on carpet or tarmac circuits.

Can I use aftermarket threaded shocks with this tower?

Yes, the tower supports standard FW05RR shock positions and will accept most aftermarket dampers, though you should check shock cap and shaft clearance before final assembly.

Will I need different screws to fit the graphite tower?

In most cases the original fasteners are reused. Verify screw lengths and thread engagement during trial fit to ensure nothing interferes with servos or chassis braces.

What handling changes should I expect after fitting a graphite tower?

Expect reduced local flex at the shock mounts, crisper turn-in and more consistent camber under load, which helps when tuning steering balance.
